What causes popping and hesitating on Polaris Pro riders?
That kind of popping/backfiring. You know how if it’s advanced too far it starts real hard and rough but will rev to the moon, but if it’s retarded too much, it starts super fine but sputters and bucks and spits and kicks. Would a sheered woodruff key put off symptoms like this?
What kind of car is a Polaris predator 500?
Pretty new to Polaris for that matter. I’m a life-long Honda & Arctic Cat guy. But now I have an ’05 Predator 500 and it’s driving me insane. I got it off a guy that said it ran last year and I kind of know him so I don’t think he’d have any reason to b/s me. It’s super clean and not really modded up.

Why does my Polaris Sportsman 500 not start?
Returned yesterday with a new battery and installed it. The machine cranks fine, but will not start. Gas is full and non-ox is always used. On/Stop switch is “on”. Everything on the dash lights up properly. Nothing else has changed with the machine since it was parked last and was running.
When did the Polaris Sportsman 500 Ho start?
I keep a 2009 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO up at the farm. Since there was very little snow this winter, I used it on every visit up until January. I tried to start the machine the first week of February and she wouldn’t start.

What to do if your Polaris Sportsman has no spark?
The process I used in this video will be the same or similar on many other ATVs, UTVs, Side by Sides and more. Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Can-am and many other all-terrain vehicles use a similar ignition system for generating spark. This video provides one possible fix for a no spark condition on a Polaris Sportsman ATV.

Why does my Polaris Sportsman battery keep going dead?

What kind of battery does Polaris Sportman 570 have?
If you mentioned it, I missed it. it is a 2014 Sportman 570. Very occasionally it will very slowly turn over, but most of the time it will just click once. I connected a battery directly to the starter and it did the same thing. (and that starter is very hard to access.) You can test further to be sure it’s starter with a volt meter.

How many volts does a Polaris Sportsman have?
When I tried to start it and it went to 5 volts, it went back to 12 volts after I disengaged the starter. On those models they tend to have a rear facing light on always for safety. It shouldn’t be a big deal if the charging system is working well. Based on your meter readings your charging system is working AWESOME.
